Every problem is a job.
Washington is ‘more corrupt than it’s ever been’
Cenk Uygur and Dylan talk about Washington’s continued inability to get anything done in Congress, even when polls clearly show that’s American citizens want.

Dylan Ratigan Mad as Hell His Epic Network Moment We've got a real problem...this is a mathematical fact. Tens of trillions of dollars are being extracted from the United States of America.
Putting Our Money Where Our Mouth Is After 780 hours of political cable news, 6000 hours of live financial television, 45 cities, 2 national jobs tours, 277,963 signatures to amend The Constitution, 245 pages of book and a promotion tour for Greedy Bastards, I was exhausted.
Im Mad As Hell How About You Yesterday, on TV, I exploded. I spent two minutes giving a primal yell at our political system, demanding the extraction of our money and dignity end. It was my most heartfelt and emotional moment on television, ever.

The problem is that you have people like the Ron Paul's (who was just on your show) of the world who want to destroy government.
Those who worship the false god of the "free market" won't create any manufacturing jobs. They'll continue to work the system, come up with schemes, and take the money out of the economy.
Government needs to use tax policy to "force" capital into manufacturing. If we taxed cash reserves held for more than six months, bonuses and any other scheme to remove money from the economy then business would be obligated to invest.
I'm a leftist radical economist and proud of it.(SUNY Stony Brook Eco BA, Masters of ED) And I don't care. I've been following this story for 30 years and it's the same old same old to me. Elections have consequences and if you give the people a choice between a Republican and a Republican they'll vote Republican every time. Clinton (NAFTA & repeal of Glass Steagal) was one of, if not the best, Republican President of all time. Now Obama seems to want to give him a run for his money,literally. Maybe that sitdown with all those execs was a job interview for his post Presidency. The American people are getting exactly what they voted for and it's time to stop coddling them. The Democrats should let the Health Care Reform Bill be repealed. If they don't, and they won't, then they should expect to be hammered for the next two years as health care costs go up and the system collapses. Then the Republicans will capitalize on the issue and take over all three branches and then its game over.
Hedge fund manager / Bank executive cannibalism?
I believe the solution is tax breaks for millionaires, and for companies that outsource jobs overseas.
Mind-blowing, indeed! And what is truly sad is that neither party really addresses the underlying, core issues that Dylan goes into on the show regularly. I expect the Republicans to support destroying the economy to enrich a select few, but the Democrats are just as bought and paid for. Only a radical (to the roots) alternative such as a real third party or Americans finally demonstrating in the streets as in Europe will even start to deal with these concerns
thanks for listing this info, DR.
very sad and pathetic but very glad you put it in list form.
thx.

we know the problem. what is the solution?
Dylan,
If you are concerned about the de-industrialization of America, make sure that you examine the factors that led to that de-industrialization: globalization and a series of American Administrations that believed in free trade more than other governments around the world. These other governments, in various ways, have protected their manufacturing bases in ways of which you have expressed your disapproval. In your shows, you seem to want to hold governments and corporations to the pure ideal of Adam Smith-style capitalism. Unfortunately that form of capitalism all too readily leads to countries giving away their manufacturing bases to other countries with "comparative advantages" of various kinds. You can't have it both ways: concern about de-industrialization and true belief in free trade. John Cassidy in the New Yorker has addressed this in a recent book review.

I love all the political commentary.
Dylan, your wake up call first needs to be directed at the ignorant masses that think there is a difference between the 2 parties. This government is such a complete sham its ridiculous. Ron Paul is dead-on right.
Industrialism will come back when people recover a work ethic and that will never happen in this collapsed system. The one hand is constantly purchased by the corporations and the financial elite while the other hand mans the printing press so it can enslave the lower class and ensure any chance of work ethic rebounding is demolished.
Bringing manufacturing back to America isn’t going to ‘fix’ anything, it isn’t enough. The only Idea I have seen that has any hope of ‘fixing’ this collapsing world is the Resource Based Economy idea advocated by the Zeitgeist movement.
To solve the problems we as a society need to take back our rights. Stop paying taxes, vote, pay attention, turn off the TV news. Take politics to a local level. Stop the bleeding in Washington. Restructure the chain of command. Keep the money in the states. Take your money out of the banks before the banks take your money. We are in a war with our own government. Now is the time to take it back! If we don't our children will pay the price big time!
The system is rigged. Why did corporations in USA quickly move operations overseas? Because of GATT. Because the rules were designed for this to happen, because that is what the globalists want, cheap labour, higher profits. Did you know GATT allowed US corporations to recover any losses from taxpayers when moving their operations overseas for a period of 10 years? After 10 years, if these corporations were still suffering losses, the deal would be extended for another 10. Offshore outsourcing is NOT free trade and NOT comparative advantage; it is a race to the bottom for the lowest factor cost, in this case labour, where the rules are tilted not for America and its people, but the globalists. Capital SHOULD be invested WITHIN in America to find your comparative advantage, not invested in china. Watch the interview with Sir James Goldsmith on the Charley Reese show. The only way to fix this is rip up all the treaties for so called "free trade". Sadly, most of you believe governments, quasi-government organizations and treaties (IMF, world bank, GATT, NAFTA, UN, EU, ASEAN, …) are needed for free trade. WRONG.
agree!
